Convert To Ppt Legal Maryland Evictions Forms For Free

If the landlord allows you to stay after the original lease has expired, you enter into a month-to-month lease (unless the original lease said something different). If you were originally in a week-to-week lease, the holdover period will also be on a week-to-week basis.

The landlord can't just tell you that you have to move or throw out your belongings. To evict you, a landlord must go to District Court to get a judgment against you. If they get one, the court will issue an order of eviction and a sheriff will make you leave the home.

How to evict the tenant? The sheriff or constable must be present during the eviction. To begin the process of eviction, the landlord requests a Warrant of Restitution. In a failure to pay rent case, the Landlord must make the request within 60 days of judgment or the expiration of any stay of execution.

How Long Does an Eviction Stay on Your Record? An eviction itself doesn't appear on your credit report. However, any unpaid rent and fees could be sent to collections and remain on your credit report for seven years from the original delinquency date.

Is there anything I can do to prevent or postpone an eviction? If you are unable to pay your rent, you may wish to talk to your landlord about a payment plan. If you are unable to agree to a payment plan, ask if your landlord will agree that you can stay in your home until a specific date.

Evicting a tenant in Maryland can take around three weeks to five months, depending on the reason for the eviction. If tenants request a continuance or file an appeal, the process can take longer.
